This 28-foot vessel is perfect for those who appreciate classic maritime tradition, offering a comfortable cruise speed of 10 knots powered by a reliable diesel engine. It features a spacious pilothouse with excellent visibility, making it ideal for coastal cruising and weekend getaways. The recent upgrades, including a new Garmin chart plotter/radar, bow thruster, and inverter, enhance its functionality and ease of use. The interior, while compact, is thoughtfully designed with one cabin and one head, accommodating up to three guests. This vessel is particularly suited for experienced boaters who value the charm of traditional design and are prepared for the maintenance that comes with it. Located in Rye, New York, this Ellis Extended Pilothouse offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of nautical history, with the added benefit of modern navigational equipment. Priced at $110,000, it's a compelling choice for those seeking a semi-custom downeast cruiser with character and reliability.
The Ellis Extended Pilothouse is a testament to traditional downeast craftsmanship, offering a blend of classic aesthetics and modern upgrades. The build quality is exceptional, with hand-laid fiberglass hulls ensuring durability. The interior features traditional woodwork, adding charm but requiring regular maintenance. The recent installation of a new Garmin chart plotter/radar, bow thruster, and inverter significantly enhances its navigational capabilities and comfort. This vessel is best suited for experienced boaters who appreciate its classic design and are prepared for the maintenance involved. While it may not be the fastest cruiser, its efficient hull design provides a smooth and stable ride, ideal for coastal cruising. A marine surveyor would likely focus on the condition of the woodwork and electrical systems, given their age.
